A playful expression of the hierarchy of needs theory

This movie reminds me of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs in Management. Maslow believes that human needs are divided into five levels, from low to high, they are physiological needs, safety needs, social needs, esteem needs, and self-actualization needs. Before the high-level needs fully emerge, the low-level needs The needs of the hierarchy must be appropriately met.

In the film, the poor Bob is at the lowest level of demand. Every day he is in the company's small grid, and he is in danger of being fired at any time; he comes home alone after get off work, and is lonely enough to talk to the goldfish, not to mention I have a friend of the opposite sex.

In addition to complaining to the goldfish and fantasizing about the company's high-rise buildings being blown to ashes at lunch, the once-quiet man also encouraged himself to draw a gun to kill those annoying colleagues in the company countless times on weekdays. Finally one day, Bob finally reloaded the bullet, but another colleague of the company suddenly appeared and did what he wanted to do... What a depressing for a desperate person , and the colleague accidentally injured Vanessa, whom Bob was secretly in love with. Bob killed the murderer in a rage and became a hero by mistake.

As a result, Bob's higher-level needs began to be gradually met. The indifferent male colleagues began to meet to play ball, the rambunctious female colleagues began to embrace, and the mean boss also seemed to be amiable... These changes did not fail to Makes Bob smile, because Vanessa, who was rescued by him at the time, is paralyzed, and life is better than death. Or it can be understood in this way that because his low-level needs have not been properly satisfied, but have become more intense because of Vanessa's seemingly absent "love", his own hidden high-level needs are not. fully present, so those transformations cannot be called satisfaction.

In fact, at the end, I really hope to see a happy ending, although I am very clear that as a black comedy, it is such a subject that attacks reality, and that kind of extravagant hope will only make the audience's mood even more sad and helpless at the last moment. . I will be sober and fantasize about the impossible ending, which can only mean that the story has been told successfully. The ending can still be explained by the "Maslow-Hierarchy of Needs Theory", the lowest-level needs suddenly become strong but not met, the higher-level needs collapse, and everything goes back to the starting point and worse.
